04.12.11 - WHEN THE KID IS NOT THE KID
i'm involved in a theatre production at Ballhaus Ost, berlin. the piece
is called "Der Flop" and it's based on a book by science-fiction
writer Stanislaw Lem. i'm doing some sound stuff for it, but ended up
also playing a character. we'll play it on the 10th, 11th, 13th and 14th
of december. i hope to see some of you there! infotext

12.04.11 - WORDS ABOUT WHATEVER
kleiner text:
Wenn der Zweck die Mittel heiligt, dann haben wir es hier mit einer sich
selbst in den Schwanz beissenden Doppelfrechheit zu tun. Der allmächtige
Dilletantismus und das über dem Können stehende einfach-machen
sind Zündkerze, lange Leitung und Teilchenbeschleuniger zugleich.
Vielleicht ein Keyboard, vielleicht eine Triangel. Vielleicht der Schmadder
aus alter Cola und Fusseln auf dem Boden in der Ecke da drüben. Aus
allem kann man eine dumme Idee machen. Die Kid Ikarus Halbplaybackshow
auf Abwegen. Es lebe die dumme Idee.
11.02.11 - PIXIES
pretty last minute. the KID will, in some form, yet unknown to himself,
take part in tomorrow's actions at schokoladen. it's a Pixies cover evening,
introduced by some covers of The Replacements. it will be fun. >>> www.schokoladen-mitte.de

so...the tour(s) with mOck in the US and over here have been nothing but
terrific! aces! mind bowling! foxin awesome! hugs and hearts to Rapid
Cities, my two Fs and everyone who made it happen. the fun included
getting kicked out of a basment at 5 am in Indiana, not being able to
close my mouth for a half hour on the 51st floor in Manhatten and running
through an open firehydrant with Shaun and Elisse in Chicago.
